So when I am creating / designing my flowerbed, my intention is to create a haven for pollinators as much as I want you to stop and look đź‘€
Pollinators are attracted to specific flower colors based on their unique vision capabilities and feeding habits:
Bees: Prefer blue, purple, violet, and yellow. They cannot see red, but they see ultraviolet patterns invisible to humans, which act as "landing strips" pointing to nectar.
Butterflies: Drawn to bright, vibrant colors like red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple. They need flat-top flowers to land on while they feed.
Hummingbirds: Highly attracted to vivid red and orange tubular flowers, which their long beaks can easily access.
So when my flowers begin blooming and I see my hard work come into fruition, it brings me so much joy.
